I find CH's analysis almost unintelligible. Could you help me out
here, and summarize the major points of his analysis that you like the
best? Thanks.
I "think" he (or she) is trying to say:
  • That the "socialist cause" is the stronger (or winning) cause that the Democrats should "push" to win.

    That ID politics, exemplified by "fake nazi hunting" activity, is a losing tactic.

    That the "real struggle" is the competition between the "expansionist nations".

    That China is not a "real threat" to America (plus "the West") because it's not really expansionist.

    That the only "real threat" to America is expansionist Saudi Arabia. But since SArabia is a "client state" of the CIA, it's not really a threat either.

    That it's not "Left-vs-Right" that is the basis of "world competition", but instead "Expanding-vs-Contracting States".

    That the last "Crisis World War" was about cutting the expansionist "axis" powers off from their "expansion fuel", which was mainly the Russian's (Soviet's) job.

    That once WWII was effectively won by the "allies", the remaining expansionist power, Russia (plus "commie allies") must also be starved of it's fuel to expand.

    That "militarism" is an amoral "good", and that any "humanitarianism" SHOULD be an accidental byproduct of the "proper use" of militarism, and not a goal per se.

    That neither the "Commie Utopian Nazi-hunting Left" nor the "Crony-Capitalist Fascist Utopian Nazi-hunting Right" are the real "problem" with the world.

    That "Nazi hunting" is inherently "bad" because "militant totalitarian tyranny" is the preferred/best form of government, as it is most representative of "human nature" and therefore "most democratic".

    That the "real threat" is "not having prosperous populations" who will insist on wars of one sort or another, and it's better to have "local" expansionary wars than internal wars, or any other type of war..

    That the "only hope" for "Bernie's Bros", and/or a "democrat victory", is to have a massive recession before the election, so as to bring on a "(national) socialist revolution".

There doesn't seem to be a real conclusion as to what the aforementioned mass of verbiage actually means.

..just my two pennies worth of "analyzing" a supposed "analysis" or whatever it was that was analyzed.

"And of course, the US mostly sat out WWII in Europe."

Now that is funny! I'm sure all the bomber crews thought they were setting out the war. The forces in North Africa were just getting a good tan! I'm not real big on the war thing myself but with all due respect the US was not setting it out. Force projection at that time was not what it is today. The US had crap for a standing army and the centralization clowns since Lincoln had taken the Militia that should have been ready to fight down to nothing. All that needed to be built. I'm glad you recognize that the Russian people paid the largest cost of fighting the war in Europe. That is just a fact. But if the US had not been there to supply and build from a protected manufacturing base an ocean away from bombing Europe including Russia would have fell to the Germans. If Germany had just had Russia and England to deal with it would not have turned out the loser. I've known that since playing Risk as a kid. Don't you remember having to have another place on the board because you couldn't put all the pieces that Germany had in the area of the board that was Germany. That was 1942 at the start of the game! Russia would have been starved out by 43 or 44. It wouldn't have mattered moving production over the Urals. Germany would have just bombed them there. Germany wouldn't have had to fight in western Europe by then. England would have been done. Hitler was a moron for attacking Russia. But without the US in the fight it still would have worked.

Try getting the Russians to agree that America mattered at all during WW 2. I agree wit you, but the Russians will never admit they needed help to defeat Germany.

You need to Read David Stahel and David Glantz's books on Barbarossa, essentially they say that Germany lost the war in the strategic sense by the beginning of August 1941. Although much bloodbaths was needed to translate the soviet victory into reality over the following 4 years. Basically the Germans committed practically all of their available resources and manpower to the invasion of Russia, and when the USSR failed to disintegrate after the first 5 weeks or so of the war, the Germans were pretty much F'cked. Notably the Germans had no strategic reserves outside the forces already committed to Barbarossa.

When the Germans couldn't get the oil they needed (from the Caucasus) they were done, and simply fighting on in hopes of a miracle of some sort.

BUT, if the US hadn't denied them resources coming from "elsewhere" they might have had enough additional time to capture the Caucasus oil, allowing them to "carry on" toward some condition where they could sue the Allies for peace.

..gotta get da OIL...!!

..and other bits.
